Alright guys let me know when you are here

Miellewds-guy here.
Still waiting on Miel and Tanis lewds.
>>43840552
Keep waiting, Tanis is worst girl.
>>43840566
Tanis has done nothing to warrant that kind of disdain.
She doesn't show us respect because, let's face it, Eldric is an irresponsible master.
Remember how long it took for us, and him, to realize how we were running our subordinates ragged, and pretty much shirking all of our responsibilities?
Tanis should start pushing Eldric to be a better Master to his Menagerie, just like Aritsu had to get him to take his club duties seriously, and Yin, Aritsu, and Lyann finally got him to do his job in the Empire.
Has one of your characters ever been broken?

One came close to it. He even went dangerously close to going axe-mad on an entire town.
But the darkness ate him.
Yeah, but it was part of my back story so I don't know if it really counts.

My character in 5e is slowly going mad. Playing Out of the Abyss and failing all those checks

We witnessed Canoness Superior Boudicea flinging herself and an Archon off a spire and SURVIVING.
Got more delicious drawfaggotry.
And still failed to write up about the other characters!
To those just coming in this is an open suggestions and ideas thread for the Order Of The Armoured Heart, a Sororitas Militant order using CQC weapons in favour of bolters (Not flamers though, they're not stupid), and with their smaller missions dressing in monk's robes ala travelling priests, only more likely to survive a bolter...

>Name: Canoness Superior Boudicea.
>Physical Details: White hair, caucasian, female.
>Notable features: Wrinkles under her eyes.
Originally the second in command of Canoness Superior Brunhilde. After finding her superior crippled by an attack from an Eldar Farseer, Boudicea took up the Order's relic power sword and duelled the Farseer to a standstill, grievously wounding her before the Xenos Witch retreated, with immediate medical attention Brunhilde survived, but was no longer fit for combat, and passed on command to Boudicea, who was soon to be formally handed the title on Firra, before distinguishing herself by duelling and defeating a Dark Eldar Archon during an ill timed raid on the capital hive.
>Name: Canoness Alyysia
>Physical Details: Blonde Hair, Caucasian, female.
>Notable features: Eye-patch over right eye.
One of the chapters premier Halberd users, training under the last Canoness Superior and being promoted to Canoness herself after the events on Orbiting Penitentiary #656, she ended up blinded after her squad ran into the Wych Cult Leader Lelith Hesperax during a Dark Eldar raid in one of the systems neighbouring Pyraxia's own. This incident and the raid on Firra led to what is perceived by many to be a one sided hatred of the Order to the Dark Eldar as a whole, surpassing most Order's zealous attitude towards these Xenos. Currently she is awaiting a bionic to replace her eye, but has still managed to function as an excellent fighter on the battlefield despite her wound.

Fucked up and accidentally called the Order a Chapter, need to stop drinking wine before starting threads....
Is there any film or video out there that correctly depicts half-swording?
All I can find is Lindybeige or Skallagrim being autistic about it on youtube. I think it makes no sense the way these people present half-swording based only on historic manual pictures. The way they portray it simply seems impratical, (holding the blade at half length and trying to fence or stab with it) seems to only make sense if you are fighting in a thigh corridor where you risk hitting the walls with your sword.
Besides, no videos out there cover the mordhal or spinning the blade...

It was used more commonly with Arming Swords. They were more common swords and better for thrusting. Half swording especially was meant to boost penetration to finish off an armoured knight.
2 handers did have the allowance for it though. This is what the leather-covered or blunted section was for.
A common tactic to deal with Pikemen, for example, was to use Zweihanders. You walked forward swinging an upwards figure 8, knocking the pikes out of your way, until you were close enough to strike. Then,...

it's against an armoured opponent if you are (preferably) armoured and doesn't have another, better weapon. So it's basically...

Interested in this shit.
How would /tg/ create/play a sci-fi setting in the Netherlands (Or a planet colonized by the Netherlands if we go that far into the future), or a country based of it?
Drugs, whores and water I guess.
>>43840017
I just hope it's using old school Wraith: The Oblivion when you run it. I would play that game in a heart beat.
>>43840017
Pot and Prostitution Planet. P3 for short.
I hear a lot of people bashing GNS theory, and I'm not really sure why. It's a useful tool for understanding RPGs and RPG design, and anyone who wants to get into GMing or brewing needs to have some fundamental understanding of RPG design.
Is GNS theory perfect? No. Nor is the particulate photon model. Is GNS theory useful? Yes. So is the particulate photon model.
>>43839952
>Is GNS theory perfect? No. Nor is my local baker's baguette. Is GNS theory useful? Yes. So is my local baker's baguette.
Look, I can do these useless things too.
When people stop using "Narrativist" to describe games that are better off described as simply "poorly designed," I might stop bashing the stupid "theory."
In practice GNS theory is just a judgement tool in other gamers and games. It's categories are too broad and simple, and doesn't actually help a designer learn anything. The Big Model's slightly better, but the Color Theory and Channel Theory should have more consideration if we want to seriously talk about game design.
For real or sarcastically, what are you thankful for tg?
>>43839865
Massive amounts of cultural enrichment. I never liked going outside anyway, but now it's more socially acceptable.
>>43839865
My group is able to talk through differences of opinion to try to find a compromise that makes everyone happy.
It's like we are actually adults or something.
Also, an increase recently in the artwork with my fetish.

How do you feel about roll-under systems, tg?
I know dice mechanic means nothing by itself, but I am curious.
Like in GURPS: roll under your attack skill to hit, defender must roll under their attack skill to block. It's great for drawn-out duels, especially in a bellcurve system like GURPS where results are pretty predictable, so a fight between two swordsmen can last a long time.
What about a 2d6 roll-under system, kinda like Traveller?
I think roll-under is inherently counter-intuitive but it can work just fine if you're used to it.
The real problem is mixing roll-under and roll-over in the same system. That shit can just fuck right off forever.
Works about just as well as roll-over systems. I'm alright with either, even though roll-under takes a little getting used to if you've been conditioned with "higher numbers=good" from other games.
>>43839870
>I think roll-under is inherently counter-intuitive
Not really? I mean, "Here is your skill level, this is how good you are at it. Are you good enough to beat random chance"
Roll Under = The Dice is the DC
Tell me what rpg has most interesting/sophisticated chargen. Bonus points if there is program for it.
No, fatal is shit and boring.

World of Darkness, both Old and New
>>43839811
Really? It doesn't look like there much choices besides your personality/mask or whatever it's called. I like how they made priorities, but it's actually quick and simple, unless there was some supernatural with bunch of options.

There wasn't much time fooling around, Boss was among the crowd surrounded by Cain, Buo, Richard and Maxime. She looked agitated at the moment. Almost everyone felt helpless as the townfolks were emptying their stock for this giant beast.

Vault Tec requires a new vault design once again.
Last vault we had muslims and ex-military goons living together under the pentagon while only having pork for rations.
All posts ending in 2 are truths about the vault.

The vault is under the Statue of Liberty.

gender roles are reversed, and constant fruity music is playing throughout the vault

Making a horror based dnd campaign using 5e rules.
Any suggestions or creatures to include or use for inspiratio?
Use a different game system
Also, kyuss worms. Check out age of worms. 3.5 game, but conversion shouldn't be immensely difficult

Pick one.
Think about your favourite horror movie, now swap out all the protagonists with the characters from your favourite action movie.
Not gonna be much horror left.
So /tg/, how would your party celebrate Thanksgiving?
>>43839472
Well, none of them were born in the USA so....they wouldn't?
Not exactly a universal holiday there.
>>43839484
Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving (though on a different day). Besides, it's just a fun hypothetical

A kung fu fight against ninjas at the local soup kitchen or something, I think.
No, no. A kung fu fight on national television during the Macy's parade, with everyone jumping between and fighting on the floats and balloons.

The dynasty was obsessed with recycling anything to such a degree that it was a detriment to their war efforts.
>>43839353
That would be the mental damage.
We need the side of the secession war where it fought and the C'Tan the dynasty followed.
We need to go deeper into the databanks.
